In the ordinary life of a man heading a family, there may be occasions when he may unconsciously be driven to entertain evil thoughts and words. Realising the consequences, if he wants to control his mind, he must resort to helping the needy without expecting any return just as the heavenly clouds pour down rain without any thought of recompense.
கைம்மாறு வேண்டா கடப்பாடு மாரிமாட்டு
என்னாற்றுங் கொல்லோ உலகு. (33)
Thus his mind expurgates the black thoughts of evil and ponders over the plight of others. He must think that the purpose of wealth acquired by hard toil and effort must be diverted to redress the grievances of those who live around him.
